Best Ever Pumpkin Bread

This is just too yummy! I had 2 recipes for pumpkin bread that were just “ok”. So, I played around with the recipe and this is what I keep coming up with. I’ve now used this recipe exclusively since 2012 and it is a real winner!

Grab you BIG mixing bowl….really, you need a big bowl for this.

Beat together pumpkin, oil, applesauce, sugar, and eggs.

In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients until well mixed.

Slowly add dry mix to the large bowl with your well mixed wet ingredients. Slowly beat it in with your mixer making sure to scrape the sides and bottom of your bowl as you go.

Continue mixing until it is all added together and mixed well with very few lumps.
